Update on using Quest shuttles

  TL,DR: Students can no longer use the Quest vehicles for initiatives outside of ‘Quest Business’. For now, organize carpools and the SRC can reimburse gas money! Details: Quest vehicles are only insured for ‘Quest “business’ (i.e. curricular/co-curricular activities, initiatives by Quest staff/faculty, or initiatives that use Quest equipment).

In comparison, accidentally doubling the salary of a student governmental body that represents 700 undergraduate students in the middle of nowhere, British Columbia, seems pretty tame. In all seriousness, we screwed up. Due to a one word error in the constitution, elected members of the Students’ Representative Council are receiving double the salary than advertised during the constitution…

Brand Identity Refresh

Why do we need a brand refresh? The core reason for a brand refresh is that an effective brand can change perception, which affects behaviour, which subsequently determines performance. As a part of the construction of the new SRC website, we have taken the opportunity to also refresh the SRC brand. All of this with the hope that not only will we be able to offer a professional and consistent look for the new website, but also create a framework that can be used across all SRC communication channels. By doing that we hope to increase the trust and engagement…
